Praying mantis' are seriously my favourite insect. They're so alien and majestic. XD
She's got a really interesting colour. I really wish they lived in my area.
Great shot! XD

He's an albino. Look at the red eyes. Eyes should always be black, brown, or green on mantids.

no not an albino, their eyes get dark when they are in a dark area for a given amount of time. The same mantis taken a few days later ---->[link] an hr before this was taken her eyes were dark...

That's an eerie picture. The eyes are so clear, look like gemstones. Nice contrast between colours.

:blushing: lens was 14-45mm and flash was on auto. I put her on a house plant and tried pictures of her in various places around the house and patio.(lol poor womans solution to lighting) Picture was a whole lot of luck. She kept her eye on me the whole time and was very happy to be back in the bush afterwards
